best, i would agree w/ kurlon..he's probably about to say the 5 spoke nsr wheels...which i agree...are badass!!!...however..for a good cheap alternative, use the 2.15 cyclone chinese wheels...i know a few people sell them under different names thumpstar etc...i would bet they're all the same....they're the best bet for the buck..i mean, they're no excels, but they work...quality is "OK" at best...but it's kind of an only option, and they're pretty cheap..so that's good too..i run them..they work pretty good...

I run two different sizes on two different bikes.



124 SE

Front wheel 1.6X10

Rear wheel 2.15X10

Tires are 3.50X10 Sava Slicks



TB108

Front wheel 1.4X10

Rear wheel 1.4x10

Tires are 90/90/10 TT91's untill the Sava's come in.:)

We run 1.85 12" front and back but are switching up to 2.15 12" rear.



With BT601SS tires 100/90-12" front rear stock 8-10 hp............



Front tires wash out before the rears slid out, the rears will chatter before they washout.



We will maybe hook 1 bike up with 2.15 front and rear just to test. As both bikes are very equal.



Fast intermediate racers.............. not super fast like some we have raced with in www.semra.org not sure i'm allowed to say that anymore.................

This is what I run on my BBR Chassis DR-Z110



BT601SS, best tire in my opinion

1.5 x 12 front - standard marzocchi front wheel

2.15 x 12 rear - cyclone rim, BBR Hub, BBR HD spokes



The quality on the cyclone rim is pretty good. There is a pretty nasty hop at the weld but other than that it has held up for about a year now on 2 different bikes.

They need to come out with a setup for disk brakes. I cannot ride without a good front brake, since that is all I use. Drum brakes don't cut it for me...

huh 4 POUNDS Light to me
and only 1.6" wide that is the only problem with them.





tererrence, you have to know what size axle you have front and rear then i can hook you. I have talked to you and you still seem to need everyones opinion on this one...Let me know what size axle you run (it is either 12 or 15) and I will see what I have lying around her for you...I was building motard race bikes for a team and now the team no longer exhists..... It all depends on what you can fit between your forks...With 12" wheels it is usually not a problem but with 10" rims the caliper usualy hits the rim with anything wider than a 1.4-1.6... So your gonna have to do some figuring on your own and then you'll know what you can do....
